Kalyani, a model prisoner, must choose between a jail-doctor who offers fulfillment or her former lover who offers a past full of disillusionment and broken promises. The story is set in the women's ward of India's pre-independence prison. Kalyani, the gentle inmate, imprisoned for murder appears determined to serve her full sentence, resisting the kind overtures of the prison doctor. Her past is told in flashback where she had become involved with the anarchist Bikash Ghosh. Bikash disappears, and marries someone else under pressure. Kalyani leaves home to avoid dishonor and takes up a job in a nursing home where she encounters Bikash's obnoxious wife whom she poisons. At the end she is reunited with Bikash.
